Russian mathematician sentenced to three years for donating 42 euros to Navalny foundation

Russian mathematician Andrej Dymov was sentenced to three years in prison on May 25 after donating approximately 42 euros to Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation. Dymov, who regularly supported charitable organizations, made several donations totaling 3,500 rubles to the foundation established by Russia's prominent opposition leader. Masked officers raided his apartment and arrested him on charges of financing extremism. The case proceeded through a swift court process that concluded with his conviction. Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation, which investigates government corruption and publishes exposés of Russian officials, has been labeled an extremist organization by Russian authorities as part of a broader crackdown on opposition activities.
